Am I missing something? :) yep, I see that relatively often and can't figure it out...I'm pretty sure it happens when a particular newsgroup's directory used to be there, but has now vanished for some reason. when it happens, I just manually create the dir, chown to news/news, and all is well. of course, the important question is: why would nntpc delete a newsgroup's directory in the first place? also - if you do set up a web frontend, pls remember to despammify, or just eliminate, our email addresses...thanks... -ljason
